Shock Tactics

Crunches may be the cornerstone of most abs workouts but doing them to death won’t get you a six-pack. Your muscles adapt to exercises so the longer you do a single move the less effect it will have. Fortunately, the exercises in this workout hit your abs in new and challenging ways. You use other muscles and do the exercises back-to-back in pairs, which means you’ll burn extra calories, strip off fat and reveal the muscles underneath.

Do this workout three times a week, leaving at least one rest day between sessions. Perform the first two exercises as a pair (known as a superset) without rest and then stop for one minute. Repeat this superset twice more, then do the second superset three times.
